Open Call for Exhibition Proposals for the Academic Hub Exhibition Space
TU Dublin is inviting exhibition proposals for the inaugural Summer Programme in the new Academic Hub Exhibition Space at TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus.
As part of TU Dublin's commitment to engaging community and wider society the Academic Hub Exhibition Space will host exhibitions that inspire curiosity, spark conversation and build connections beyond the University.
Situated within the recently opened An Mol Acadúil ┐Leabharlann / Academic Hub & Library, the Exhibition Space will provide a new platform for showcasing the talent and creativity of its students and staff, and TU Dublin’s impact in research and innovation. Importantly, this will be a welcoming space on the Grangegorman Campus that will connect TU Dublin with local, national and global communities.
A space connecting ideas, people and communities
The Academic Hub & Library was officially opened by Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD in September 2026 and serves as the academic heart of TU Dublin, bringing together Library Services, learning supports, study spaces and engagement opportunities under one roof.
Open Call for Summer 2027
Launching on 23 October, the Open Call for Exhibition Proposals invites applications for exhibitions taking place between May and September 2027. The Open Call will remain open for five weeks, closing on 23 November 2026. Successful applicants will be notified by 11 December 2026. Exhibitions can range in duration from three to six weeks. A key consideration for the Summer Programme is to present exhibitions that will attract visitors to the campus, and spark the interest of wider society.
